Before You Dive Into This Delicious Recipe… 🍲

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever said, “I know I should eat more plants... but I just don’t know how to make it work in real life?”

If so—you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I created The PlantWhys Collective for.

It’s not a diet. It’s not a challenge.
It’s a lifestyle shift for real women with real lives—who want to feel better, lose weight, and stop feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” when it comes to food.

✅ A gentle, step-by-step 40-day Jumpstart
✅ Weekly live support + check-ins with certified coaches
✅ Quick, feel-good Pilates workouts (just 5 minutes a day)
✅ Monthly mindset coaching and book club

✅ And a private community (no Facebook drama here)

It’s like the support system you’ve always wanted, all in one place—with no guilt, no fads, and no shame.

You’ll see everything laid out clearly—whether you want to dip your toe in monthly or go all-in for the year.

You don’t need to go plant-based overnight.
You just need a simple path—and someone to walk it with you.

Creamy Italian Pasta

High-protein, cozy, quick, and dairy-free!

Ingredients

12–16 oz high-protein pasta
Water for boiling
1–2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon (or any bouillon paste)
1 teaspoon salt (for boiling)
1 can white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
1 can Italian-style diced tomatoes
½ bunch kale, destemmed and finely chopped
½ cup plant-based yogurt (unsweetened)
½ cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½–1 teaspoon garlic powder
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
Stir in the Better Than Bouillon paste and salt to flavor the cooking water.
Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the can of beans directly to the pasta pot.
Before draining, reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
Drain the pasta and beans together — do not rinse.

2. Prepare the Veggies

While the pasta cooks, destem and finely chop the kale.
Set aside.

3. Combine Everything

Return the drained pasta & beans to the pot.
Add the Italian-style diced tomatoes, chopped kale, plant-based yogurt, and nutritional yeast.
Stir until creamy and the kale begins to soften.
Add the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce to your desired creaminess.
Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt to taste.

Serve

Enjoy warm!
Top with extra nutritional yeast, fresh basil, or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
